  Pueblo Bonito, the most impressive of the “great houses” at the prehistoric Chaco Canyonsite in New Mexico, comprised over 600 rooms and 4 to 5 stories. Traditional interpretations have viewed the great houses as almost entirely residential, with somearchaeologists estimating the population of Pueblo Bonito at 1,200. But Windes recently challenged this view by pointing out the paucity of hearths recorded during the excavation of Pueblo Bonito, which revealed only 3 upper-story hearths, in contrast to 59 ground-floor hearths: habituation rooms would have required hearths for cooking and heat. It is possible, however, that the collapse of upper-story floors disturbed evidence of upper-story hearths to such an extent that they were not revealed by early excavations such as those conducted by Pepper’s field crews in the 1890s and Judd’s in the 1920s. Additionally, reliance on room features for early population estimates is complicated by the Chacoan’s later remodeling, especially given Judd’s disinclination to destroy later structures and features to expose earlier ones. The failure of early excavations to strip off intact floors may have concealed evidence of hearths in upper-story rooms.

  1. The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about Windes’ argument?

  A:It relies on evidence that is irrelevant to the examination of structures as large as Pueblo Bonito

  B:It fails to acknowledge crucial evidence from great houses other than Pueblo Bonito

  C:It fails to incorporate crucial evidence from excavations before the 1920s.

  D:It is based on a false notion about the significance of hearths.

  E:It is based on evidence that may be incomplete.

  答案:E

  2. It can be inferred from the passage that Windes would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about room usage in Pueblo Bonito?

  A:Upper-story rooms were rarely used as storage areas.

  B:Rooms that were remodeled were most likely to have been residential rooms.

  C:The majority of residential rooms were located on the ground floor.

  D:Early excavations of Pueblo Bonito disturbed much of the evidence indication room usage.

  E:Upper-story rooms with hearths were probably used for different purposes than were lower story rooms with hearths.

  答案:C

  3. Which of the following can be inferred about the excavation work performed by Judd’s field crew?

  A:It did not unearth many room features that existed prior to Chacoan remodeling.

  B:It did not unearth any evidence of upper-story hearths.

  C:It revealed only habitation rooms.

  D:It resulted in the collapse of some room features and upper-story floors.

  E:It confirmed traditional population estimates for Pueblo Bonito.

  答案:A
